Explanation:
Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix provides flexible control of video that can be delivered to any number of
monitors. Video that is stored on Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server can be aggregated and displayed on
one or more monitors throughout the network. Triggers can be configured so that video can be delivered when
a particular event happens, such as the activation of a fire alarm or a motion sensor.
Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix is a component of the Cisco Video Surveillance Manager (VSM). Cisco
VSM consists of the following primary components:
Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server
Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager
Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix
Cisco Video Surveillance Encoding Server
Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server distributes, archives, and manages video feeds. Video streams are sent
from IP cameras and from encoders connected to analog cameras to the Media Server, which replicates those
streams to viewers as needed. Both Cisco and third-party cameras and encoders are supported.
Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager is responsible for centralized configuration and management of
video-based resources. The Operations Manager provides secure web-based consoles that can be used to
manage multiple Media Servers, Virtual Matrixes, cameras, encoders, and users.
Cisco Video Surveillance Encoding Server is an all-in-one appliance that can encode, distribute, manage, and
archive video feeds using both IP and analog cameras. Each server can encode up to 64 channels and store
up to 24 TB of video. Motion detection features are supported. The Encoding Server can be used on its own or
alongside Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager.
